How can educators (teachers, professors, trainers) address issues of gender,women,gender roles, feminism and gender equality? The ATHENA thematic networkbrings together specialists in women’s and gender studies, feminist research,women’s rights, gender equality and diversity. In the book series ‘Teaching withGender’ the partners in this network have collected articles on a wide range ofteaching practices in the field of gender. The books in this series address challengesand possibilities of teaching about women and gender in a wide range of educationalcontexts. The authors discuss the pedagogical, theoretical and political dimensionsof learning and teaching on women and gender. The books in this series containteaching material, reflections on feminist pedagogies and practical discussionsabout the development of gender-sensitive curricula in specific fields. All booksaddress the crucial aspects of education in Europe today: increasing internationalmobility, the growing importance of interdisciplinarity and the many practices oflife-long learning and training that take place outside the traditional programmes ofhigher education. These books will be indispensable tools for educators who takeseriously the challenge of teaching with gender. (For titles see inside cover.)
This is a collective volume presenting a theoretical framework and diverseeducational tools that can be used to incorporate gender and sexuality intoSpatial Disciplines and the concepts of space and urbanity into Women’s andGender Studies. The book was conceived in recognition of the fact that theconcepts of space, place and urbanity have a rather minor presence within EuropeanWomen’s and Gender Studies. Likewise, the concepts of gender and sexuality(ies)are poorly covered within the “spatial” disciplines and university departments. This“double” absence is the raison d’être of this volume and underlies our proposalsfor developing effective educational and teaching tools in this field.The study of multilayered, complex and contradictory situations in contemporaryEuropean cities, where gender/sexuality intersects with other axes of differenceand power, is crucial to the development of a multicultural teaching ethos and willfacilitate students’ understanding of these contemporary issues both inside andoutside the classroom.
